Preference For Her By Joyce Dan

Chapter 1 

Elizabeth Clarke sat in her private room in Skygrace, holding her chin and looking at the two swans swimming freely on the artificial lake not far away. 

She was waiting for someone from the Clarke family to pick her up. 

When she was ten, her stepmother Kaida Clarke said she would take her abroad to travel, but instead left her overseas and returned home alone. 

Ten years later, people from the Clarke family suddenly found her and said they would take her home. 

It was only because of a marriage arrangement between the Clarke family’s ancestors and another prominent family in Solemfield. 

During the decades of development, that once rich and powerful family had gone downhill and was said to have nothing left 

now. 

Moreover, the offspring was withering. Among the latest generation of young people, only one male was bedridden with at lingering illness and unable to walk properly. 

Kaida naturally couldn’t bear to marry her daughter to such a man, so… Elizabeth Clarke, discarded for a long time, came on stage as a substitute sacrifice. 

She didn’t mind the sacrifice, and it was time for her to get some things back. 

So, she came back. 

Elizabeth tapped her cheek with her fingers and calculated carefully in her mind. At this moment, the private room door was slammed open from the outside. 

A tall figure fell in, along with the rich smell of blood. 

Elizabeth frowned and looked at the motionless man on the ground. She was about to stand up and go over to check when the messy footsteps sounded again. Several black figures jumped in neatly and closed the private room door. 

“Bro, this man has good skills. Now that he is injured, let’s take the opportunity to kill him.” 

“Don’t be in a hurry. Let’s deal with this obstacle first.” 

Elizabeth did not expect that she would be in danger now before she visited the Clarke family. No matter the identity of the man lying on the ground, the group of people who broke in was obviously not good. Especially the fierce–looking man who led them, the killing intent in his eyes was undeniable. 

Skygrace was a famous private club in Solemfield with a membership system. These people dared to kill here with great fanfare. There must be powerful figures backing them. 

The leading man clenched the sharp machete in his hand and approached her step by step. 

Elizabeth shrank back in fear, curled up into a ball with a tear–streaked face, and desperately pleaded for mercy, “Please don’t kill me. I didn’t see or hear anything. You guys can do whatever you want. Please don’t kill me.” 

She was already beautiful. Because of her youth, she had a kind of charm that was tempting and attractive to the men. Her big bright eyes were clear and transparent. Her beautiful face with tears made people feel sorry for her when she cried. 

The leading man’s heart was moved slightly. They had been making a living from killing. It had been a long time since they had been close to women. Thinking it was a pity to kill such a little beauty, he decided to play with her first. 

He turned back and exchanged glances with his companions. A smile appeared on his lips. “It’s okay to let you live, little beauty. Just have fun with my brothers.” 

As he spoke, he pounced on Elizabeth. 

Elizabeth was pressed to the ground by the man, and the hem of her blouse was lifted, revealing her delicate and slender waist. The people watching at the door just looked at it and felt their blood surge. 

The man’s lewd laughter filled the entire private room. When people were consumed by lust, it was easy for them to let down their guard. 

This was the time that Elizabeth was waiting for.

While the man was burying his head in her neck, she grabbed the machete that the man had aside. 

The cold blade stuck to the man’s neck. At this time, her beautiful eyes were as cold as a deep pool. “Don’t move. I will kill you if you move again.” 

“You…” 

Bang! 

The girl’s hand lifted the machete and fell, and she directly knocked the man out with the back of the machete. Her voice

was soft and cold, “Still pretending?” 

Before the other black–clotlied people could react, the man who was initially “unconscious” on the ground suddenly jumped up, and after several beautiful fights, all the men in black fell to the ground. 

Everything happened in an instant. 

Elizabeth crawled from the ground and sat in a chair, straightening her disheveled collar. Without looking at the man at the door, she said coldly, “I’m not interested in who you are or what grudges you have. I won’t say a word about what happened. 

here.” 

The private room door was knocked open again, and this time it was the man’s subordinates who came in. 

“Sorry, boss, we’re late.” 

The man took the handkerchief and wiped the blood on his hand. “Clean this place up.” 

Then he walked over to Elizabeth by the window and held her small and fair jaw with one hand. “Do you know that only dead people can keep secrets the best in this world?” 

His voice was deep and mellow, like the notes of a cello. 

With her chin pinched. Elizabeth was forced to meet his eyes. 

It was a sharply defined, excessively beautiful face. The black pupils were deep and bottomless. Like an emperor in the dark night, a strong and fierce aura surrounded his whole body, noble and inviolable with every move, also carrying a chill that made people fearful. 

This man was very dangerous! 

Snap! 

Elizabeth slapped the man’s hand and fearlessly met his gaze. “I’m the daughter of the Clarke family in Solemfield. I’m here to meet my family. If I die here, the Clarke family will investigate it thoroughly. Can you guarantee that they will never find out about you?” 

“The daughter of the Clarke family in Solemfield?” the man wondered. 

He raised his eyebrows slightly, surprised that the Clarke family had a daughter unknown to him. 

When the subordinate dealing with the aftermath in an orderly way heard this, he leaned into the man’s ear and whispered a few words. The man’s originally cold eyes suddenly revealed a bit of interest, and he glanced at Elizabeth. 

He initially thought about persuading his grandma to cancel the marriage contract. After all, the two beautiful idiots from the Clarke family were really dull. 

Unexpectedly, after being ambushed by the opponent, he met the Clarke family’s third daughter, who was brought back to marry him as his bride. 

Interesting! 

He rubbed Elizabeth’s fair and tender jaw with his thumb. “No matter what, you saved me just now. Shouldn’t I repay the kindness?” 

“I don’t need you to repay me. Just leave now, and we’ll pretend we never met.” 

“Never met? How could that be?” he thought. 

He looked down, and his thin lips slowly approached Elizabeth. When he seemed to kiss her in the next second, he suddenly stopped. “Don’t worry. We will meet again soon.” 

Elizabeth was startled for a moment. Before she could catch any more information in his words, the man waved his hand and left with his men. 

After he left, Elizabeth sat down on the chair like a deflated ball. Only then did she realize that a thin layer of cold sweat had appeared on her back. 

“This man had a terrifying aura. We’d better never see each other again!” she thought.
